Education and Employment

I''m a inspector with construction crews. Mostly welding and sandblasting/painting crews. Not a bad way to make a living.
The oil companies hire a crew, then they hire my company to babysit and make sure the contractor does what he says he will do. I have to work this winter, had a bad financial year with all the hurricanes and also losing my boat to hurricane katrina.

BTW, as a side note, you might want to consider buying a used but in very good condition boat as opposed to building one. Building your own boat is not as much of a saving as most would suspect. You will save 1/3 to 1/2 on the hull....thats it.Depending on the size of the boat, that might only be a small portion of the overall cost. If you plan on building a new hull and fitting it with used parts, then you are defeating the purpose of a building a new boat.
Good luck and have fun
